On March 18, 2026, the Director of the the Municipal scientific research institute “Scientific research institute of socio-economic development of the city” Mr. S. Pavlovskyi took part in a working meeting chaired by the Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration Mrs. Hanna Starostenko, dedicated to the implementation of the Action Plan within the framework of the “Open Government Partnership” initiative for 2025–2026 in the Kyiv City.

He presented the results of focus groups and surveys among target audiences and stakeholders – one of the measures of the Plan, which the Municipal scientific research institute “Scientific research institute of socio-economic development of the city” is a co-executor in.

The conducted research allowed us to more clearly define priorities for the development of civic education courses. We better understood the needs of young people, and therefore, we will be able to create programs that are not just relevant, but truly useful and practical in the conditions of a modern city.

“Open Government” is much more than just transparency. It is about a new quality of interaction between the authorities, the community and business. About trust that is formed through openness. About solutions that become more effective through dialogue. And about a city that develops, focusing on the real needs of people. On behalf of the city authorities, the Municipal scientific research institute “Scientific research institute of socio-economic development of the city” acts as a platform for coordination, analytics and implementation of innovative solutions. Our focus is on systematicity, consistency of actions of all participants and work for long-term results.
